Written at the start of the Great War, when his son Borys was at the Western Front, The Shadow-Line is Conrad�s supreme effort to open man�s eyes to the meaning of war through the stimulus of art. In many ways an autobiographical narrative, this masterpiece of his final period relates the story of a young and inexperienced sea captain whose first command finds him with a ship becalmed in tropical seas and a crew smitten with fever. As he wrestles with his conscience and with the sense of isolation that his position imposes, the captain crosses the �shadow-line� between youth and adulthood.
It is the qualities, both individual and collective, needed to confront the ship�s crisis that symbolize the qualities needed by humanity, not only to face evil and destruction but also to come to terms with life.
�The ship, this ship, our ship, the ship we serve, is the moral symbol of our life.� �Joseph Conrad |
